It's finally time to take a detailed look at the results of the last quarter of 2022 on Twitch, which had plenty of interesting things to tell you about. For example, xQc lost the leader position by Hours Watched, and casimito returned to the Top 10 creators of the platform. Streams Charts provides a ranking of the most popular streamers in Q4 2022.
Gaules became the most watched Twitch streamer in Q4, not xQc. From October to December, the Brazilian streamer amassed nearly 40.8 million Hours Watched, a 52% increase over his Q3 2022 total. IEM Rio Major 2022 tournament and its qualifiers broadcasts play the main role in the growth. It should be noted that Gaules' CS:GO streams amassed more than 83% of the creator's HW total in Q4.
xQc is in second place in the Top, and his performance over the quarter dropped by 28%. This was mainly due to the 22% fewer Airtime the Canadian streamer had. It's interesting that from October to December, xQc spent about as much time playing Minecraft as he did in Just Chatting. KaiCenat follows, as he did in Q3.
Casimito is back in the Top 10 most watched streamers on the platform after a long absence and is in fourth place thanks to World Cup broadcasts. The Brazilian creator's HW increased by almost 90% over the quarter, the largest increase of any streamer in the Top 10.
ibai, whose HW total grew 13% over the quarter mainly driven by broadcasts of the 2022 Ballon d'Or ceremony and his own El Último En Pie event, rounds out the Top 5. HasanAbi returns to the Top, ranking sixth in the quarter.
Auronplay saw the biggest drop in HW in the Top 10. Compared with Q3, his number fell by 34%, which is directly related to the Average Viewers number sagging by almost a third. It's also worth noting the Japanese streamer stylishnoob4, who rounds out the Top 10 streamers in Q4. His HW performance grew by 66% over the quarter thanks to a 40% increase in Airtime.
Auronplay, Ibai, KaiCenat and xQc are also among the aforementioned streamers in the quarter's top 10 by Average Viewers. They rank second, fourth, sixth and eighth, respectively.
The French streamer Aminematue, who spent just fewer than 96 hours on air, became the Twitch leader in Q4 2022 by Average Viewers. Most of the creator's broadcasts from October to December drew 25K to 50K AV, but the final AV result of the quarter was 85K owned to the Eleven All-Stars football event, which was watched by more than 730K Average Viewers.
PaulinhoLOKObr takes third place by this metric. The Brazilian streamer broadcast the RP content in GTA V almost all his streaming time in the quarter, attracting 71K AV. AdinRoss mostly streamed in the category Just Chatting. He rounds out the Top 5.
Most Squeezie's broadcast saw from 20K to 30K Average Viewers, but the number increased to 382K AV at the GP Explorer tournament. Asmongold streamed only WoW after the release of the Dragonflight expansion and drew 57K AV per broadcast.
ElSpreen, the most popular Argentinian streamer, slightly increased his normal AV number in Q4 thanks to several successful broadcasts, including the Minecraft-based PELADA DEL AÑO boxing event.
